Abstract

Depletion of natural resources and global warming change the way companies are working with. The production and delivery cycle has changed. Many countries made it mandatory measure like carbon taxation and introduced the concept of “Go Green”. However, research on green supply chain management (GSCM) keeping environmental management system (EMS), corporate performance (CP), and green supply chain management practices (GSCMP) in view still need more work. This study is about to measure the impact of green supply chain practices and environmental management systems on corporate performances and green supply chain management. This study is based on a quantitative technique. Data from 553 respondents were collected. The results support the majority of hypotheses and prove that GSCMP has a positive impact on CP and EMS has a positive impact on GSCM. This study helps managers to consider how to develop the environmental capability to improve the environment. This study addresses a gap in the existing literature that few studies have explored on implementing EMS.
